Swivel looks nice!

Originally purchased in the 1960's.

If that was on ebay I'd consider buying it. But unless you can pick up locally, sending money to someone for an item on craigslist is a gamble.

That's how I got my vintage swivels, sending money to people who placed Craigslist ads. But it is a gamble...

I suppose one is less likely to get burned on an item like a speedbag than other items. Did you send the money through paypal?

The bag is a little newer than what they are claiming. Everlast didn't start using that style packaging until the late 1970's. The platform maybe, but not the bag.

I think I've sent PayPal for Craigslist purchases, but also sent a postal money order once. I'm not recommending it, just saying I've done it and not gotten burned. I wouldn't want to ship that platform though. For $50, if I was local, I'd take the whole thing if I wanted an Everlast swivel of that vintage.

FYI, I once lost money with PayPal, where the person's PayPal balance was insufficient for a full refund, maybe they closed the bank account it was attached to, I don't know what happened. The point is that PayPal, at least back in the late 1990s, couldn't get me a full refund when a seller backed out.
